In addition to explosives, the French also had a new thing, which was the grenade launcher.

The so-called grenade launcher is actually a super light mortar. It is relatively light and even lighter in weight than a rifle, so it can basically not occupy the organization. More importantly, this thing is simple in structure and cheap in manufacturing. In the later War of Resistance Against Japan, the poor imperialist army was equipped with a large number of such things.

Compared with the later Japanese grenade launchers, at this time, the things in the hands of the French army were even more primitive and simpler. The Japanese grenade launchers were also equipped with special ammunition (of course, they can also be used to fire grenades). The lower-end version of the grenade launcher of the French was really specifically used to fire grenades.

The airtightness of the grenade is definitely not very good, so the range of this thing is much worse than the one used by the Japanese in later generations. The effective range of the Japanese in later generations is about 500 meters, while the effective range of the French grenade launcher is only a little over one hundred meters.

However, at this time, this range is barely enough. Because, at this time, the use of grenade launchers is mainly used to fire smoke bombs to interfere with enemy shooting and cover the blasting hand to send the explosive pack up.

The French soldiers all looked for cover and fired at the manor - in fact, it was more like a watchtower.

The people on the watchtower also fought back with rifles. Then the grenade launcher carried by the company shot several smoke bombs in the direction of the watchtower. The smoke bombs exploded in the air, as if they suddenly opened a black and gray umbrella.

With the cover of the smoke bombs that kept blowing up, a French soldier quickly jumped forward with an explosive bag.

Although the Barbary Pirates had a lot of defense considerations when they were built, he had strong life functions after all, so he did not quickly reach the bottom of the watchtower like those authentic ones. He pulled the fuse and ran away quickly.

With a loud bang, the tall wall collapsed on one side, and bricks, wood and human heads flew away. Even though the French soldiers felt the earth trembling at a considerable distance.

"Charge!" Philip gave the order. He knew that if the enemies gathered not far from the explosion point, even if they avoided the explosion just now, they would be shocked and would be difficult to recover their combat effectiveness in a short time. When they rushed forward at this time, they might not be able to stand up.

As Philip expected, the battle inside ended in a short time after they rushed into the wall.

In this manor, Philip's people found some olive oil that had not been sold. This should be the production of this olive garden. In addition, there were all kinds of women's gold jewelry and silk clothes. The priests who accompanied the army registered these things in the book - these were the property of France. Of course, some things that were too fine were not registered. Even the registered things were a little smaller, and the fewer ones naturally became the income from Philip to the privates below.

But in the whole, Philip and his friends have limited gains in this manor. According to common sense, the owner of this manor should have a great status here, so why is there only such a little thing? Moreover, no woman with a noble status was found in this manor.

Philip wanted to ask the prisoner, but he immediately discovered an important question, and he could not understand the language of the locals.

"It's so damn! Does any of you understand what they say?" Philip asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Company Commander, you can ask the Turkish liaison officer to ask." A soldier said.

"If possible, you have to say this?" Philip said coldly.

"Why?" The soldier hadn't understood yet.

"Bats, you are such a fool!" Philip said, "He asked, why should we tell us? He couldn't remember it by himself and wait for us to leave, and then bring a few Turks over - those things are all his! Do you understand?"

"Company Commander, what do you think you should do?" asked a soldier.

"What else can I do!" Philip said fiercely, "We can only find it ourselves. There must be a secret room here, and you must find it even if you dig three feet into the ground!"

Speaking of this, Philip picked up a rifle and smashed it hard on the wall with the buttstock. The wall made a bang, very heavy and solid, and it seemed that there should be no one here.

"Everyone is fucked and you can find it. If you have any doubts, you can destroy it at will! Just think it's renovating it for them!" Philip shouted.

Those captured - mainly servants and domestic slaves, and the men were basically dead in the explosion just now - are now being held in a small room. According to the agreement between France and Turkey, the rebellion captured by the French and the rebellious families should be handed over to the Turks.

This is also the Turks insisted on gaining power, which is mainly to avoid rebellion and hide from the French, and then be used by the French to make trouble. As for the reason that they can be sold as slaves, this is not very important. In general, because the other party is a pagan, everyone is allied to be in alliance, and they should be wary of each other or guard against each other.

The French slammed the wall randomly and pried the floor on the ground with bayonets to see if there were any secret blocks below. With the enthusiasm of finding the treasures of Alababa and the forty thieves, everyone turned the place upside down. Finally, they found a secret room under a staircase.

The door of this secret room was pressed by the fallen stairs. The French took a lot of effort to move the stairs away, then lifted up the carpet on it, and saw an iron door.

"Shotgun!" yelled Philip.

A French soldier holding a shotgun came over, and a shot was fired at the bolt of the swamp, and the lock was destroyed. Then the iron door was pulled open, revealing a dark tunnel.

"Let that Turk come over and let him shout inward!" Philip shouted.

So the Turkish liaison officer was called, and he shouted something in it a few times. There was no movement inside. Then he shouted a few more times, and a few low sobs came from below, as if it was a woman and the crying of children also came up.

"Call her up on her own," Philip said.

The Turk shouted a few more times to the bottom, but there was no response from below. He could only hear the child's crying in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Philip said, "Barcs, you still have Francis, go and have a look."
